Larry Laudan Summary (Part 1)
So I`m just going to jump right into it, starting off with one of Laudan`s very well known books, which is "Progress and its Problems". In the book, Laudan basically talks about how progress solving effectiveness in a contextual manner is necessary for science progression. Laudan also mentions completely revising History and Science programs. Now, some more time passes and Laudan kind of goes away from the ideas he had in "Progress and its Problems". -
Larry Laudan Summary (Part 2)
In 1983, Laudan published another book which is called "Science and Values". It is in this book where he introduces his Reticulated Model of Scientific Rationality. Basically, he proposed a problem solving model of scientific rationality. This model consists of scientific beliefs which are theoretical, methodological, and axiological and are changeable. This model made Laudan more well know then he already was, and definitely helped with scientific progression.
